Phantasie
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

The island of Gelnor has been taken over by The Black Knights, who demand sacrifices and homage as they travel from town to town. Defeat them and their master, Nikademus!

Phantasie is a classic role-playing game, and one of the first to introduce a "bank" for storing money in addition to expanding on the classic Wizardry-style gameplay of building your own adventuring party with traveling from town to town via the countryside, overhead views of dungeons, and multiple styles of attack.

Trivia

The algorithm that distributes money and experience points is subject to integer rounding errors. So, if there are six members of the party trying to divide up 5 pieces of gold, nobody gets any gold because 0.83 gets rounded down to 0.

Phantasie

A multiple-character role playing game. Phantasie transports you to the medieval isle of Gelnor for the adventure of your dreams. You command a group of one to six characters with such roles as monk. Priest, wizard, ranger, thief or fighter. Your companions need not be human; they can be gnomes, elves, orcs, or lizard men- just to name a few exotic races.

With this motley crew, you search the lands for the Nine Rings to help you wipe out the scourge of Gelnor- the Dark Lord and his evil minions. You'll map out new terrain, explore maze-like dungeons, solve puzzles, learn spells, gain experience, and battle countless monsters. In every town you visit, you can recruit new members to replace lost or unneeded comrades.
Beautiful Hi-Res color graphics and spellbinding storyline suspend reality and launch you into our magical world. No computer-carrying adventurer will want to miss out on the glorious excitement and enchanting experience that is Phantasie.
